The sensor must be disposed of in line with applicable country-specific regulations.
When disposing of them, you should try to recycle them (especially the precious met‐
als).
NOTE
Disposal of batteries, electric and electronic devices
•
According to international directives, batteries, accumulators and electrical or
electronic devices must not be disposed of in general waste.
•
The owner is obliged by law to return this devices at the end of their life to the
respective public collection points.
•
WEEE:
This symbol on the product, its package or in this document,
indicates that a product is subject to these regulations.
This SICK sensor is maintenance-free.
We do, however, recommend that the following activities are undertaken regularly:
•
Clean the optical interfaces and housing
•
Check the fittings and plug connectors
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Cause
Test input (Test) is not con‐
nected properly
Sensor is still ready for oper‐
ation, but the operating condi‐
tions are not ideal
The beam of light of a pho‐
toelectric through-beam sen‐
sor hits the receiver of
another (neighboring) photo‐
electric through-beam sensor

Measures
Check connection of the test
input. When using female
cable connectors with LED
indicators, make sure the test
input is assigned correspond‐
ingly.
Check the operating condi‐
tions: Fully align the beam
of light (light spot) with the
receiver. / Clean the optical
surfaces . / If the potentiome‐
ter is set to the max. sensing
range: Reduce the distance
between the sender and the
receiver and check / Check
sensing range and adjust if
necessary.
Swap the sender and receiver
arrangement at every sec‐
ond through-beam photoelec‐
tric sensor and ensure that
there is sufficient distance
between the through-beam
photoelectric sensors
